For the uninitiated who want to sing this version around their Christmas tree (also approved for Hanukkah celebrations), here is how the traditional “12 Days” is sung: You sing each of the song’s 12 lines, in ascending numerical order. But then you only repeat the “gifts” already received. For example: Start the song with “On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: a partridge in a pear tree.” But here is how your verse would sound in mid-song: “On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: six geese-a-laying, five go-o-o-ld rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.” Try that format with today’s creation, below. Note that singers are expected to dra-a-ag out the syllables on the gift of the “5th Day of Christmas,” in this case “Five Glenn Young – kinnsss.” |
